After I told my mom that I'd go to Phu Kradueng, what you think my mom would say??? Not hard to guess, isn't it.
"Again? Khwan? You never asked me if I allow you to go."
Not that I was stubborn or didn't listen to her or something... but.. well, I wanted to go....
Hmmm...... did that call stubborness???
Well, at last, I went there with my friends. We left Bangkok around 9:50pm on Friday night and arrived at a local restuarant on the next day early morning. It's a resting point where there were rest rooms and washbasins for us to clean ourselves and got ready to climb up the mountain.
We had to take this red pick-up to the national park.
It costed 20 Baht per each and took about 20 minutes to get to the park.
When we arrived at the national park, we had to buy tickets to got into the park. It's 40 Baht for Thais. But... well, please forgive us... Besides argricultural and developing country, Thailand is a tourist industrial country, also. So we need some money from foriegn tourist, that's why we might seem cruel for you foriegners.... We'll cost you just 10 times of Thai price... 400Baht only.
This picture can tell us that people who want to go to Phu Kradueng are not really great... Because if you or we, include me, were stong and as awesome as you would show off your ability that you can climb up the Phu Kradueng...., there must have not been this picture.
Well, if you think you're really strong enough, just buy a ticket and go climb the mountain. But if you're not, me as well, you'd have to thrust your burden upon these guys in the picture above.
After weighted our baggages for calculted wage to carry them up to the top of the mountian, our belongings would be tied with a big bamboo, waiting to be carried on the shoulder of.... well, I really can't find this word in English... maybe "carrier."
The belongings were ready to be carried...
Energy drink...
Climbed upper and upper.... more and more tired...
Like you're losing your way in dessert, at a second you thought you would stop breathing, then you'd find an oasis....
The last destination we went, Lom Sak cliff, where's a very good place to see sunset.
The rock I sit and the tree in the picture were very famous(!?!?!?!?!).
Was it like... if you didn't take picture right there, that meant you didn't get there!?!?!?!?
Don't be worry. I won't jump!!!
Finally, we could see sunset at Mog Doog cliff in time.
I bring you the sun. :D
At the second night, we fell asleep more easily than the night before.... I guess we should have thanked the riding trip.
On the last day, we left the tent early. We had to be at the bus stop around 3pm. That meant we had not much time to climb down the mountain.
Before climbing up, my backpack weighted 6 Kg and the same weight after the trip. They costed me 15 Baht/Kg, so mine was 90 Baht on both way up and down the mountain.
In this t-shirt.... tell me I wasn't the most prominent one on the mountain.
There's a big sign at the foothill, "wish you're healthy."
Yeah... I would be healthy just because I didn't fall down the mountain.
The way back home....
Ohhhh noooooo, I didn't really want to back to my thesis!!!!!
Anyway.... I was ready to back home.
The sunset on the way back home was as beautiful as it was at Mog Doog cliff.
Hmmmm.... that meant I might not have to climb the mountain to see the sunset on the top of Phu Kradueng, but I could see sunset anywhere????
